I just received an email from a Prince in Africa who needs our help. I can't afford it alone, so I thought I'd start a pool here at the office. Apparently, our donations will eventually be returned with interests. Not only that, but we'll be helping this prince get back his inheritance. Can I get anyone to join the pool with a donation?
Once I get the $1000 Bill Gates has promised me for helping with his e-mail beta test then I will have some money to give you.

Make sure the UPS guys speak before you open the door. They could be zombies.

Apparently Facilities has other responsibilities, and they are no longer available to answer our phones. I have replaced our phone queue with an endlessly looped recording of "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. It's impossible to be angry when that song is playing.
Facilities has been renamed Corporate Services, to better reflect our diverse level of services. Inquiries made to 'Facilities' will be deleted. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi I'm new here can some one please explain where my desk is and how to do the job I was hired for.
Also how long till I earn any sick days and vacation time?
I'm sorry to break the news, but due to budgeting constraints, we're going to have to let you go. Thank you for your long service to the company, though.

Note to staff: Do not read e-mails in the order they were received or you might miss later e-mails redacting the previous.
OK. I have a funny story about this one. We got a mass e-mail from our HR/internal commnications person with a picture of the company president pointing to his watch with the phrase "The cock is ticking" below the picture. About 30 seconds later that e-mail was removed and replaced with more appropriate phrasing.

Note to Staff:
Our new voicemail system is in place. We will no longer have live operators to assist callers. The automated system requires last name first, first name last. Please have all outside callers use this procedure.
Note to Telecomm Dept:
How do we do that when we don't know who's going to call?

cool I'm fine with that I was here long enough to qualify for unemployment and cobra so thats all I really cared about anyway.
Now with the benifits extension and the fact that I was fired from my last 3 jobs I qualify for disabilty too. I'm very sad to leave all the friends I've made here.

The facilities mangent would like to remind everyone to use the couch when having meetings with interns. We are having to replace way too many desks.
*writes up David*
Corporate Services! They don't want to be called Facilities Mgmt anymore!
My group made this name change 6 months ago, and nobody pays attention to it. :P

*schedules meetings where all employees can elaborate upon the comments they made in the anonymous survey submitted last month*
*face to face, with HR and mgmt*
True story: At my company, an employee who was applying for a promotion was subject to an anonymous peer review. A friend of mine basically spelled out how the employee in question is terrible at her job, gives her work away to other people, and is generally unhelpful. Management called her into an office, where the other employee was already sitting there, and said "I thought I would bring you two together to discuss your differences."

Similar one. Give feedback about upper mgmt and the direction you see the company heading. Specify male or female, division you work in, level or title, give examples of issues. Needless to say we all said 'doing great'. *sigh*

The sick leave and vacation policies have changed. Please listen carefully. Starting November 30, one accrues .013 paid sick days and .041 paid vacation days per week, except on weeks with holidays, in which you receive .0026 sick days less per day of holiday and .0082 vacation days less per day of holiday. You receive a 5% accrual bonus for the week for work on weekends, although all hours on weekends must be redacted the following week and a 5% reduction in accrual for that week applies due to the time off. You do not accrue sick days during vacation and you do not accrue vacation days during sick leave. Once you have accrued maximum accrual sick and vacation days for the year (5.6434 sick days and 9.987 vacation days for non-executive employees), you no longer accrue sick and vacation days, respectively.
Time accrued previous to November 30 shall receive a 13% reduction on October 1. Those taking vacations starting before November 30 and ending after October 1 must return to work by 10:23 am October 3 in order to avoid an accrual penalty of 6.24951% the remainder of the year.
We believe this new system is the most effective and simple to follow, therefore the HR department will not be answering questions or concerns regarding the new policy.
Have a great day!
